The D-Town Records Classics Show - 001

The D-Town Records Classics Show starts off with the DJ and microphone man Kenny Smith demostrating his songwriting skills over the years with two of his compositions from 1966 and 1976.  The show progresses with his Motown songwiriting and producer partner RG Ingersoll and a couple of samples from the Motown days.  Other productions of note include Emmy Award Winner Ms. Bernadette Bascom's "Body Freaks" from Smith's Seattle production days, and ending the first show with Lee Rogers' production of Dee Edwards "A Girl Can't Go By What She Hears".  It's a classic show of building from the top down.  In the old days, it was the DJ that was a "wannabe" artist that didn't have the "chops" or could not stand the criticism of being a recording artist.  Since these songs are classics and have proven themselves time and time again, it's no need to judge them, they speak for themselves.  Nevertheless, it is in times like these, when one asks if you still have the "chops" to record a smash hit?  As RG Ingersoll would put, "Hey Luke?  How's your hammer hanging?  We know its all about pounding out the hits.  Been there,  done that and got the T-Shirts!!
